- (continued from previous page)ago - A certain man happened to pass through a neighbours field where his cows were at grass. He noticed a woman amongst the cattle - she had something like balls of yarn in her hand - She threw one and then another at the cows, saying one for you and one for me. The man said more by way of a joke "And one for me two". In the space of a few days when his mother was making the churn in his home She marvelled at the amount of butter in the churn, twice or three times the usual compliment. She remarked to the son, and he then told her about the old woman and the balls of yarn. He having said one for me too - evidently took the produce of one cow also. M. O'Farrell, NT.
